AWESOME! I have made this into a birthay cake and CUPCAKES. Everyone loves it!! One warning: When making the chocolate, make sure to put the melted cocoa in last. Otherwise you will end up with little chocolate lumps, and it won't work as a frosting.

This recipe tasted good. I just could not get over the filling made out of crisco. I am pregnant and I was really craving sweets. When I actually made it I was not into the filling. I did add 1/2 cup confectioners sugar and 1 tsp. of vanilla and it tasted fine. If I did not know what was in it I might have loved this recipe!

I've just recently made this cake for my family. They are all chocoholics and absolutely loved this cake. If you follow the recipe as it is written (Using an 18.5 oz cake mix!), it works very well. Whipping the filling ingredients does make it lighter and creamier. Those are the only changes that I made and it turned out wonderful. Thanks for a great recipe and I will be making it again. P.S. Good things come to those that wait! Don't try to rush through this cake. Give every part ample time to cool before proceeding. The recipe does say "cool completely". Baking a good cake is like cooking a good meal: it's well planned and well executed!

Totally decadent, save this one for when you want a rich dessert. Kids totally love, and adults, unless they are on a diet or you tell them what is ACTUALLY in that filling, will eat it also. This recipe is really like a ho ho. They are good, but you don't really need to discuss what is in them. Just eat this and try not to feel guilty!

Actually, I would have rated it a four if not for all the compliments I got on it. I would have rated it four stars because I didn’t like the filling, it tasted like Crisco. Apparently, a lot of people don’t know what Crisco tastes like because they asked what the filling was made of! I took a couple suggestions. I used devil’s food cake mix, used butter instead of margarine, creamed the filling for 10 min. and used a pasteurized egg. It turned out fine. One thing I would not skip out on is the chocolate glaze! It tasted awesome and it poured beautifully over the top. I will use that glaze recipe again for sure!

We really liked this cake! My husband's favorite cake ever is the "Saunders Bumpy Cake" and this was close enough to please even him. Even better the second day! Store in fridge! Based on other reviews I followed recipe except for replacing the white sugar with caster (superfine) sugar to avoid any graininess. Cream filling sets-up in fridge and we liked the firmer texture. Family calls this recipe a "definite do-over"!
